Somebody mentioned they had never seen Gone With the Wind here, I believe. Those who want to perhaps should fairly-soon since the wave of ultra-political-correctness in the States has made for a few calls for banning the film-presumably the novel, as well. I'm not sure this will actually happen given its status, but there are those who would like to see it vanish. Apparently nothing involving the Nazis is on the PC radar here, though.

Well according to this from 2015 (and it's accuracy I question, seeing as it doesn't mention Bluett):
(Edit: Upon re-read I guess it doesn't say Houghton was the ONLY uncredited actor, just the oldest one).

Surviving 'Gone with the Wind' cast members

Following the deaths of Mary Anderson and Alicia Rhett in 2014, besides Olivia de Havilland the only other surviving Gone with the Wind cast member is Mickey Kuhn, 82, who played Melanie's son, Beau Wilkes.  Including uncredited (and unconfirmed) bits, online sources claim the oldest surviving Gone with the Wind cast member is Shep Houghton, who is supposed to have turned 101 last June 4.

The death info was uploaded to an auction page by his son by the looks of things.

And he gets a Telegraph Obituary: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2017/06/01/shep-houghton-prolific-extra-silent-movie-era-obituary/

 

As he died last year, it's zero points for the DDP team who picked him.

Well, Olivia de Havilland is dead...I haven't looked, but is this finished, or are we waiting on any more cast members?

Not a real actor but was part of Hollywood, I thought would be interesting!

 

Gary Carlson (IMDb), who played Beau Wilkes (as a body double for one of the older Beau Wilkes actors) in 1939 film Gone with the Wind dead at 94

 

Ps: Three different children played Beau Wilkes during different times in the film, and they are:

Greg Giese (IMDb) - Newborn Baby Beau - I believe Mr. Giese was 11 days old at the time

Ric Holt (IMDb) - Baby Beau after the Civil War - Sadly, Mr. Holt passed away in '15

Mickey Kuhn (Wiki) - Young Beau - he was roughly 6 years-old in the film and is one of only 2 people living that was credited in the movie, not to mention the only child actor in the film that is alive that was credited in the movie!

You know, rather like it here than Hollywood Posses...

Nothing on the Twitterboard that I can see...

[Death Impends 7,372]

The account that added his death has been established for nearly a decade, and has GWTW listed as one of her favorite films, so I'm inclined to believe.

It's true. There are tributes across Facebook. The last surviving credited cast member from GWTW, so I imagine a Hollywood Reporter obituary will appear in a matter of hours.

Hollywood Reporter obit for Mickey Kuhn.

Now Mickey Kuhn has passed away.  This means more individuals born in 1932 will pass away next year in 2023 even before turning 91.

[DaDeathGuy 202]

He's gone with the wind.

Anyone can die next year because humans are not immortal!
